AGES 50–OLDER

Come enjoy a nice group walk to various places around Albany led by local residents and nature lovers. With the benefits of vitamin D from the sun and cordial social exchange, come get active with us. Starting from the Albany Senior Center or pre-designated locations, the group is led to different locations within walking distance, while accompanied by guest speakers to spark up some conversations. To learn more about the program, call the Albany Senior Center at +1(510)524-9122.

Students read their own writings to the class for its criticism and evaluation. The teacher adds another voice, pointing out basic principles and approaches to effective non-fiction prose. The idea is to make our memoir writing as vivid and effective as it can be so that it will not be filed somewhere in the dark but will be read and re-read with enjoyment by children, grandchildren, and even by strangers yet unborn. No one is required to read out loud, or to withhold other kinds of writing, which are welcome.

We try for a low-pressure, respectful atmosphere in which embarrassing events and deep emotions may be safely exposed.
